If I press $mod-3, I get a *new* workspace called "3". The only way I can get to "3: www" is with $mod-n because I have: bindsym $mod+n workspace next bindsym $mod+Shift+n workspace previous Not sure if I'm doing something wrong (or misunderstanding the Users's Guide). thanks in advance for any guidance Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:01:46 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1018/named-workspaces/Answer by badboy_ for <pre><code>$ i3 --version i3 version 4.4 (2012-12-12, branch "tags/4.4") © 2009-2012 Michael Stapelberg and contributors </code></pre> I don't have any named workspaces in my config file - it just looks like: <pre><code>bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1 bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace 1 </code></pre> (have 1-10) So, I rename a workspace with i3-input and put in <pre><code>rename workspace 3 to "3: www" </code></pre> for example and the workspace in the bottom left goes from "3" to "3: www" BUT - here's my question - how do I switch to it?
